THE STATE INTEREST LOAN.
A Reconsideration of Former Action with a
Decision to Advertise for Bids.

The Governor, Auditor and Treasurer of State
the five-year loan of 1890 900 with which to pay
interest on the States bonded Indebtedness to
Coffin e. Stanton, of New York. The award
was made on the firms offer to supply the money
at $40 per cent, and, this being an unusually
low rate, the State officers readily accepted it,
not thinking it worth while to incur the expense
of advertising for other bids. But Moer &
Co., New York brokers, objected to being left
out OF An opportunity to carry the loan, which,
they sad they were willing to do at rate lower
than 3 $40 per cent. Following this letter, it is
claimed by the State officers that advices from
other money-dealers came to the effect that they
could give the State lower rate of interest on
the loan had the chance been afforded them to
make propositions. There have been several
meetings Of the Governor, Auditor and Treasurer
since the acceptance of the Coffin & Stanton
proposition, but conclusion was reached until
yesterday. During the morning Mr.. Stanton,
who came here Wednesday, received formal
notification of the reconsideration of the con-
tract, and later, in reply submitted to the State
officers another proposition. 1t recited that the
original acceptance was good in law, good in
morals ard good in the everyday business rela-
tions of life" but the firm then proposed as the
State officers under the law had no authority to
| borrow money, except to pay the interest on the
| State debt, to act 'as agents of the State,
! advance money sufficient to pay the several in
| stallments of interest they may mature, hold
| ing such evidence of sach payment as may be
| legally given; the amounts so to be paid to bear
| interest at the rate of 2! per cent. per annum,
| and to be redeemable at any time at the pleas
| ure of the State" The firm also offered to give
| $50. 900 bond for the faithful performance Of
the contract Yesterday afternoon the State
officers considered this proposition, but in view
of the desire of other firms to effect the loan and
at rates as low as those offered by Coffin & Stan
ton, decided to advertise for BIDS thus holding
to their action ia reconsidering the first arrange

pay 5000 for every player that doesn't report. 1t
Of course. they are wanting all the money they
can get, but we have set our salaries, and the
men will have to play for them or not at ALL" It
is the desire of the directors to get the men to-
gether and in practice soon possible before
the exhibition games begin. and for that reason
they have been rather urgent in having the
team in good form. Twelve of the best players
have signed with the club, and there
is no worry about the rest. How
ever, every one of them has notified Presi-
dent Newberger that they will be here by April
!, if not sooner. Director J. II. Martin went to
ST. Louis yesterday. and there FIVE of the
players, Seery, Quinn, Boyle, Mathes and Kirby.

and would report on time. Those who have

rival of the players will unfit them for good work.
but such is the case, for they have all been in
practice at their homes for the past two months.
They understand each other WELL and in few
games will be able to make the club one Of the
best in the League

QUESTIONABLE LIQUOR LICENSE.
A remonstrance from Hall place residents was
presented to the County Commissioners yester-
day. against the opening of a saloon in their
neigbborhood. Commissioner Sahm, when asked
if any relief could be given the remonstrants
said he did not think it would be possible
s'They are too late" he remarked. II will be
glad to talk over the matter with them, but
have been looking up the law governing the case,
and do not see how the man can be stopped
from opening the saloon. Our rule is to re-
ceive and confer with all remonstrants, but they
always come in before the license is granted. 1t
IS unfortunate for the residents that the appli-
cation was advertised in an obscure paper, but
| we cannot govern that. The applicant observed
| the law in every respect. and. as there was no
remonstrance filed, we could do nothing but is
| sue the license"
But doesn't the law require that building
| shall be specified in the appl:cation!'
"Yes, and there was one specified in this ap-
| plication. I did not know that there was no
| building on the ground until after the license
| was granted" 1t seems to be the general opinion
among attorneys that the license can be re-
| voked, if the commissioners will only agree to
| do so, the ground that the petitioner made
false statements by locating and describing a
building that did not exist. The remonstrants
expect to demand revocation of the license on
! this account.

At tho Breakfast-Tabls

The New York Times says: "Thert
is no exaggeration In saying that thu
atmosphere of breakfast table gives
the key to the atmosphere of the
home. 1t is only in America and in
England that the lady of the house is
as dainty at the morning meal as al
every other; they alone hold papillotes
and crimping pins in horror at the
breakiast-table. In France, Germany
and Switzerland early breakfast is, in
reality, no meal at all.
1t lacks every element of comfort,
and in the majority of instances, the
lady of the house will enjoy her coffee
and pretzel or roll in her own room,
pausing for the purpose in her house
wifery cares, and clad in the semi ids
habille in which those tasks are per-
formed by the notable women OF for
eign countries. In Italy, again, break
fast means hot rolls and coffee, and in
Holland the addition of strongly
favored cheese or smoked herring is
scarcely redeeming feature. Dainty
breakfast sets are almost unknown,
except in the few families who in
travelling have learned the beauty OF
such unfamiliar things, and whose
views OF the possibilities of life are
enlarged"

The ingenuity of smugglers la,
never, perhaps, been more strikingly
illustrated than 1t was o short time
ago on the Swiss-Italian frontier. An
innocent.looking wagner with a
wagon load of cheese arrived at the
Italian custom house at Chiasso. He
had come from Lugano. and his desti,
nation was a small italian village
called Marignan. The cheese weighed
altogether three tons, and the wagner
was ''child-like and bland" whistled
blithely as he duly presented his
papers, which certified that he was
employed by the firm of - to con-
vey the cheese, which formed part OF
large order to its purchasers vt Ma
rignan. The papers were examined
and found en- regle, and before resum-
ing his journey the wagner stepped
into a neighboring cafe with one of
the douaniers. for the day was hot. and
cigarette and a glass of wine could
not fail to be acceptable.
But the delay for refreshments was
destined to prove fatal to the wagoner's
hopes, for during his absence another
douanier wlstfully gazed on the tempt
ing load of cheese, and, thinking that
a slice from such quantity would
never be missed, and at the same time
would, in conjunction with a morsel
of garlic and piece of black bread,
afford him a delectable supper, he
whipped out his knife and, selecting
prime-looking cheese. he proceeded to
cut into it, or rather he did not cut
into it, for either the knife was blunt
or the cheese was uncommonly hard
This popularity induced him to con
suit with colleague, and together
they proceeded to make something
more than q cursory examination OF
these remarkable cheeses. Lo AMI be-
hold! they proved to be not chees,s at
all, but solid. compact rolls of tobacco,
artfully done up in cement; this again
was covered with canvas which was
painted to represent cheese. OF course
the find" was instantly conflscsted,
and the blithe wagner was transferred
from the comforts of the cafe to the
hardships of the Jail. 1t is said that
that both the consignor and the oon-
signee will be called to account, and
that the fine likely to be inflicted will
not fall short OF thousand pounds.
